Shopping Our Stash #36 - Winter Blues

It wasn't until reading this challenge that I realized I don't tend to use a lot of blue in cards - I find blues very hard to match. There's lots of blue paper in my stash, though, so off I went to give it a whirl, and I came up with two cards - one blue in colour only, and one a little blue in colour & theme.

flowers coloured with Martha Stewart markers;
I only had scraps of the paper I wanted to emboss the flowers on,
so I stamped it on two pieces & hid the seam (and enlarged
the panel this way) behind the olive scrap.

Jessi, your gold embossing looks fantastic!! I think you did a super job finding some blue--these look so pretty. Hey, just realized that *I* have that TAC dog stamp, too!! Always loved it :). He looks so cute with those Wander papers!

I'm totally loving your stamping in the first card--wow!!! So stunning! The dog in the second card is absolutely adorable. I love that pp. I know what you mean about the blue...so many blues have a faded look and while I love navy, they are impossible to match!
